I think what you've probably find is that I have quite easily wound up our antipodean friends, such as your good selves. The reason for this is that the convicts arrogance is matched only by their high-strungedness, should such a word have been invented. It's too easy!

Now, is there anyone else out there who can offer a bit more of a challenge?

How many years is it now betty?

The aussie cricket side has lost 3 test series in the last 8 years. They are also the current holders of the World Cup, so theyre technically the world's best one day team too. The West indies did not lose a series from 1980 till 1995, and by that reckoning i still think the windies were better than this current side. However from October 1999 till March 2001, The aussie test side won 16 test matches in succession, an achievement that I dont think will be equalled for many many years- the previous record was 11 tests in a row, held by that West Indies team of the 1980s...

Indians beat the Aussies in India last year. NZ almost beat Australia in Australia.

I think Australia with Pakistan are two of the best cricketing sides in the world. Republic of South Africa is a close third.
